Unboxing the ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe

Sorry for the long standfirst, but it was hard to squeeze all the awesomeness into a single sentence. If you hadn’t already gathered, I firmly believe the E35M1-I Deluxe is 2011′s answer to a perfect home theatre upgrade.

While an Nvidia ION and Next Generation ION HTPC was very much the winner of 2009-2010, AMD’s latest E-350 APU combines a low power dual core CPU with a rockin’ 80 shader Radeon HD 6310 graphics core on the same piece of silicon. This, combined with the latest UVD3 video acceleration engine that provides HDMI 1.4 for enough bandwidth for Blu-ray 3D and bit-streaming sound pass-through, as well as native true dual-digital outputs, means it’ll handle the very latest demands of any High-Definition format.
